Conjectures and refutations
the growth of scientific knowledge
Book • 1962
Karl Popper's "Conjectures and Refutations" is a collection of essays that explores his philosophy of science and its implications for knowledge and social progress.
Popper argues that scientific knowledge is not based on verification but on falsification, meaning that theories are tested by attempting to disprove them.
He emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the willingness to revise or abandon theories in the face of contradictory evidence.
Popper's work has had a profound impact on the philosophy of science and its application to other fields, such as social science and political philosophy.
His emphasis on critical thinking and open inquiry remains highly relevant in today's world.
